Drinking on your own

No, I’m not a fan. I never pop down the pub for a couple on my own. I either find someone to go out with or get a couple of beers and stay in with them. Why spend £7-8 in the pub when I can spend £3 and stay in? Then again, I live alone most of the time, so I don’t need to escape. Plus I’d rather abstain all week then go out and get mortal on a weekend instead.

Alone is enjoyable for a couple to have a read and listen in to what the locals are saying. I do it when I can and I'm what you would call young. Great chance to try new beers as well that you wouldn't drink on a session.

Quite enjoy getting to new pubs in the area and just seeing what the crack is, what the people discuss etc. It's nosey as can be but there's nothing wrong with that!

Any more than a couple though and it starts to feel sad unless you're meeting someone after or there's football on.

What beers wouldn’t you drink on a session like? Do you mean strong ones? Surely the point of a session is to get pissed, which you can accelerate by drinking strong beers, no?
Unless of course 4 pints of old smelly helmet leaves you gibbering in the floor.

No choice in my job. I'm currently in a small town in Borneo, so have some beers after gym/badminton on my own at the house. Saying that, even when I'm in a city like Shanghai, Singapore, Manila etc I like to go out and bar hop, see if i can find a conversation, other times, usually Sunday afternoons, take out the iPad and settle down in one pub/bar on me own with an afternoon sesh.

I'm not going on a session drinking DDH IPAs that are 9%. I'd be buckled by the third drink while everyone else eased themselves into the day.

From the bold, I assumed you don't need to get pissed on a session and if that is so, I assumed you drank non alcoholic drinks on said session.

Also, why is someone who thinks drinking is a social event insecure?

I can happily go out and have a few drinks, going out doesn’t mean having to get mortal everytime, that’s a thing that people who haven’t grown up yet do.

Again making things up, it was your comment about connot see the point in drinking when you are on your own. This thread shows that it is a very common thing to do, generally people who don’t like it are insecure and need to be constantly in the presence of their peers.

@Dave Herbal said session not a couple of drinks.
So you were generalising when you reckoned I was insecure. I'm fine with that.
